In the next few years the US government will make decisions
regarding the renewal of its triad of air-, land- and sea-based
nuclear weapons that will have huge implications for the security
of the country and its allies, its public finances, and the
salience of nuclear weapons in global politics. Current plans
provide for spending an estimated US$1 trillion over 30 years to
modernise or replace the full triad. The purpose of this book is to
demonstrate viable alternatives to the current US plan to modernise
or replace its full triad of air-, land- and sea-based nuclear
weapons. These alternatives would allow the US to maintain
deterrence at a lower cost, thereby freeing up funds to ease
pressing shortfalls in spending on conventional procurement and
nuclear security. Moreover, these alternative structures - which
propose a reduction in the size and shape of the US arsenal - offer
distinct advantages over the existing plan with regard to
maintaining strategic stability vis-a-vis Russia and China;
upholding existing arms-control treaties, in particular New START
and the INF Treaty; and boosting the security of US nuclear forces
and supporting the global non-proliferation regime, including the
NPT. They would also endow the US with a nuclear force better
suited to the strategic environment of the twenty-first century and
mark an advance on the existing triad with regard to supporting
conventional military operations.
